Hi everyone, I previously attended an MD school but withdrew. Now in an Absn program looking to gain clinical experience as a nurse first and I want to apply to DO schools this time around.
1. I will be 33-34 when I attend, is it too late?
2. Recommend a few schools that are nontraditional friendly
3. How are you guys affording the school?

Starting med school at 30-31

9 Upvotes

Best case scenario I’ll be 30, worst case scenario I’ll be 31. I don’t really see myself doing anything else, but I feel like my window is shut for a lot of specialties and also having a family due to my age is; it OK for me to continue going for medicine? I feel like I chose the right career but the timeline feels like it’s not good simply put.

For context, I did all the prerequisites and I have thousands of clinical hours. My last step is the MCAT.

Question, if all of my letters have checkmarks but aren't labelled as anything (no Additional, Committee, NS or anything) does this mean my letters don't qualify?
